We'll be taking a much needed break for a couple
of weeks. Our regular updates will resume in early June 2005.

Today we have a very interesting early scan from
The Adventurer, starring
William Farnum. He was
a huge box office star for Fox in the decade before 1920, and did many
memorable films. The original photo for this beautiful scene was
marred by hundreds of scratches, blemishes and fingerprints, but the
resulting picture was definitely worthy of the effort to remove them.

And enjoy the new
Laurel and Hardy film clip
from The Music Box. This
scene is at the end of the film, after the boys have lugged the blasted
piano up those stairs and set it up in
Billy Gilbert's living room. [Note: video removed 12/3/2006]

Here's a new photo of little known
Grace Darmond,
a silent screen actress, in The Annex.
Thanks to Mark for sending this classy scan to us.

We also have a film clip with
Marie Dressler and
Jean Harlow in a wonderful
short bit at the conclusion of
Dinner at Eight. Replay
it a few times and marvel at Dressler's reaction and repartee upon learning
that Harlow has just read a book! Their scene appears about halfway
through the clip.

We've also got a new film clip of
Errol Flynn from
San Antonio. This is
the climax, where he exits a furious gunfight in the saloon (with more
indiscriminate shooting than you can shake a stick at!), and chases the bad
guys into an abandoned building.
